===Bushveld===
The Bushveld is found in northeastern Namibia along the [[Angola]]n border and in the [[Caprivi Strip]] which is the vestige of a narrow corridor demarcated for the [[German Empire]] to access the [[Zambezi River]]. The area receives a significantly greater amount of precipitation than the rest of the country, averaging around {{convert|400|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} per year. Temperatures are also cooler and more moderate, with approximate seasonal variations of between {{convert|10|and|30|°C|°F}}. The area is generally flat and the soils sandy, limiting their ability to retain water.<ref name="Cowling, S. 2001">Cowling, S. 2001.</ref> Located adjacent to the Bushveld in north-central Namibia is one of nature's most spectacular features: the [[Etosha Pan]]. For most of the year, it is a dry, saline wasteland, but during the wet season, it forms a shallow lake covering more than {{convert|6000|km2|sqmi|0}}. The area is ecologically important and vital to the large numbers of birds and animals from the surrounding [[savannah]] that gather in the region as summer drought forces them to the scattered waterholes that ring the pan. The Bushveld area has been demarcated by the [[World Wildlife Fund]] as part of the [[Angolan mopane woodlands]] [[ecoregion]], which extends north across the [[Cunene River]] into neighbouring [[Angola]].
